Hey, That's My Name

While away, I chatted with some celebrity types and reviewed some things

Jessica — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 02:16:49 +0000

I’ve been doing a bit more writing over at Time Out Chicago (as well as putting some work in on the magazine’s recent website upgrade). Here’s a list of what I’ve been up to: I chatted with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg about their new movie Paul. Super nice fellas. Spoke with actor Bret Harrison [...]

Catch-Up Time

Jessica — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 06:14:29 +0000

I’m not going to waste your time making up explanations for why it’s been a ridiculous amount of months since I’ve blogged here. For now, I will just provide you some links to what I’ve been doing lately and promise to try to return on a more regular basis: I covered this year’s San Diego [...]

Here’s the video of me on RT, it’s a fairly quick 5-second appearance of me ragging on motion capture a bit.

Watch me on The Rotten Tomatoes Show tonight

Jessica — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:54:43 +0000

The show airs at 9:30pm/Central tonight on Current. It will also be up on Current.com tonight and should be up on iTunes and Hulu some time this weekend. I’ll be appearing in the review segment on A Christmas Carol, which I liked but had some problems with. Watch my uncut video review after the jump.

Community Check-Up

Jessica — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:13:01 +0000

Community, along with Glee, seems to be the new fall show that friends of mine have really latched on to. I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit (with such an awesome cast, how can you not), but I feel like the show hasn’t quite hit its stride yet. Community focuses on the members of a [...]

Glee Check-Up

Jessica — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:40:28 +0000

Given it’s early start date and the fact that the premiere episode aired months ago, I’m a little later to the Glee discussion than I would have liked. However, I am really happy that my tardiness meant that I got to see “Mash-Up,” which is easily my favorite episode of the show so far, before [...]

DVD Review: Battlestar Galactica: The Plan

Jessica — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:59:38 +0000

I reviewed the new Battlestar Galactica direct-to-DVD movie The Plan for Time Out Chicago. Head on over there to read it.

Cougar Town Check-Up

Jessica — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:38:03 +0000

A lot of the early buzz surrounding Cougar Town seemed solely based on the show’s polarizing name. For me, however, all I cared about was that this was the new show from Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence. What I think might surprise a lot of people that were turned off by the “cougar” aspect of Cougar [...]

Modern Family Check-Up

Jessica — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:35:29 +0000

When I first read the blurbs about Modern Family, prior to the start of the new TV season, I had no intention of watching the show. It sounded rather dull and kind of a cookie-cutter sitcom. As the premiere date grew closer, though, positive buzz for the show began to grow and I began to [...]

The Good Wife Check-Up

Jessica — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:46:13 +0000

I made a promise to myself that, this TV season, I’d give any new shows I watched five episodes before I decided to dump them as I feel I’ve been a bit hasty in the past (though, to be fair, I did break that rule with Stargate: Universe, but I had never really intended on [...]
